redefining, brilliant, scary as s**t

Rating: Null/10 (5 October 2003)

By chance i came across this film on my darling imdb.com and noticing Danny Boyles name i had to endure a years wait till it was released in australia.
One fine sunny day while spending some time with my aunty up in queensland i had an urge to go see a movie (something odd as i don't like paying the atrocious prices) lucky for my aunts $8 movie card. trying to decide between legally blonde 2 (tacky sequel) pirates of the caribeen and 28 days later, we took a chance and saw what was to be the best horror movie i've seen since...since....well possibly the original texas chainsaw massacre except maybe final destination (and it's above average sequel)
even my conservative aunt enjoyed herself as we screamed and jumped our way through a highly original, visually stunning spectacular entry into Danny Boyles resume.
i've recently recommended it to some friends, and not one of them liked it, then again they liked american pie 2 - need i say more???
outstanding cinematography, spine tingling direction and not oscar quality but better acting than every teen horror movie made after the excorcist, i wanna see it again and again.
one thing i myst mention is the way this film u-turns once they arrive at the army base, kinda waking u up from this shreiking coma you are in when the movie is mostly about the 'infected' and changes thanks to the horny army dudes.
go see it, don't wait for video/dvd, big screen is best for this 10/10 thriller by Danny Boyle.
